Mission Consolidation

Things are moving along for the Porto Mission and the Lisbon Mission to consolidate into one.  There's a lot to be done, but it's going as well as can be expected!

Returned Missionary Visits, Etc.

Many of our missionaries that have gone home are returning to see how the Portugal Porto Mission is doing and to visit members and friends!

Five Departing Elders

These five were the first missionaries we welcomed into the Portugal Porto Mission when we first arrived, and now they are headed home!  Where did the time go?  They return with honor and changed for the better from their experiences here in the mission field.

The Last Missionary To Arrive From The Provo MTC

Little did Elder Ruesch realize, but he would be the last missionary to arrive in the Portugal Porto Mission from the Provo MTC!  We are so glad that he is here, even though he had to do the whole flight all by himself!

The Last Official Transfer of the Portugal Porto Mission

We just finished the last official transfer of the Portugal Porto Mission.  After an extra long transfer - 9 weeks - the next change will take place as the Portugal Lisboa Mission with President Torgan leading our wonderful band of missionaries here in the north, as well as the south of Portugal.

More and more and more and more training!

We do a lot of training, but that is what is making the work move forward - along with our faithful and obedient missionaries!

The Baptisms Keep Coming!

After an all-mission fast and renewed focus, the marked baptisms are way up and the missionaries are seeing more miracles in their work!
